Day 7 - Nelson

Hopping on a teeeeeny tiiiiny liiiiitle plane from Christchurch - Nelson
(had to stop @ Christchurch to and from Queenstown).
Actually, I was just trying to subtly get a picture with the v.cute pilot.

See? Small on the inside as well. Just a bit over an hour on this thing.

Attempt #2 @ getting a pic of the pilot.

Pizza: chicken breast + cranberry sauce + brie @ Lambretta's

Oh lordy...ominous clouds.

Dude, maturity rules again. What is this little guy holding in his left hand??

Hiking to Center of New Zealand - the geographical center, i think.
The NZers must just be incredibly fit because they called this a v.easy hike for folks 4-94yrs.
We were DYING, it was so steep!


We made it! and then we saw pairs upon pairs of octogenarians crawling up and down
this thing like it wasn't a big deal at all. Sheesh.



It's a tourist cliche type of place, but there's not much else to do in Nelson.



Just killing time for our kayaking trip in the morning.

Please give way to the church.

Loco en la cabesa.

The Hotel Rutherford. Our least fave hotel during our whole trip. Way too old & corporate for our liking.

i watched your video. at first it was boring. then it got beautiful! then back to boring. sounds windy there.

was it a pizza or a baked brie?

Leslie said...

it was pizza with brie baked on top of it! seemed pretty common there and even subbed the chick with turkey.

video = boring.
nelson = boring.
